Am I Wrong? I Have A Temper...

I took my lovely daughters to the park today. Now let me just say, my kids are very subtle and well behaved. I've never any problems and quite frankly I can't figure out how parents let their kids get out of control. Anyways we were at the park and there's a spin thing there the kids lay on and spin around. DH was spinning my girls and this boy about 3 comes over and starts babbling angrily at my girls. Dh says, "hey little man don't get so close I don't want you to get hit". The boy walks forward closer. His stupid mom is swinging on the swing like an idiot just watching her kid and doesn't say a word. my DH again tells the boy not to get too close. The boy gets too close and we have to stop spinning the girls. As soon as it stopped, the boy goes right up to my three year old and spits on her. Still his mom says nothing. So I screamed at him. I said, "HEY you don't spit that is NOT nice!! Do not do that!" Mind you I have no idea who this kid is and what the hell germs he has or whatever its disgusting. His mom yells over "what he do" I said ur kid just spit on my kid. And she didn't even care she just kept swinging like a dumb ass. I wanted to back hand that little boy right on his mouth for doing that, and then slap his mother too for being such an ignorant idiot. My question is, am I wrong for yelling at him? If my kid did it (which just wouldn't happen) but if she did you bet your ass she would be in trouble. What do you guys think?

Not wrong at all. I would of been pissed! I know it is frowned on but when I see other kids being mean I say something. Doesn't matter if they are being mean to my kids or a kid I don't know. I can't just stand there and watch. I make sure my kids behave and play nicely I expect that from all kids.

It probably would have been a throw down if she had told me not to yell at her kid. She would have been so done lol. Luckily for her she was too air headed to even get off the kid swings and say something to me, or her kid.

I think mommy a'swinging should have gotten up off her @ss and disciplined her kid. Even more do after you told her what he did, not to mention him wandering dangerously close while your kids were spinning. I don't think you were wrong at all. I'd have done the same thing. Spitting is disgusting!

If a kid is being mean to others and the mean kid's parent isn't disciplining, I will. I don't care if the parent ends up getting mad at me, though most often just like in this case the bad kid's parent doesn't care. Hitting another kid I wouldn't (though would possibly want to lol), but if they are hitting and STILL not disciplining I may restrain them from continuing to hit. Luckily haven't had that happen yet.

I don't really have a temper and am a pretty passive person, but u had a similar situation after school with my 8 year old. One of his classmates was swearing and being awful and I didnt say anything as his mother was there also,,. But then this kid spat on my son and I lost it and yelled at the kid in front of his mum & everyone. His mother at least looked embarrassed and quickly took her kid & left but now we don't speak. Which I don't care about! Little **** of a kid, spitting is disgusting

I would of done the same...but I have a nasty temper myself and I would of said something to the mom like "you just sit there? no wonder your kid acts like this!! mother of the year" I'd be more angry at her then the boy clearly not taught!

It's always a tough call but spitting on someone is a form of assault bc just like you said, you don't know what diseases someone may have (or even if he ate something your kids are allergic to, etc). When I was in like grade 6, some kid spit on me and he was expelled. Sounds extreme but it was the "last chance" in a string of bad behaviour. How are kids supposed to learn if no one takes the time to teach them right from wrong.
